A Hopf algebra is a vector space $H$ over a field $k$ endowed with an associative product $\times:H\otimes_k H\to H$ and a coassociative coproduct $\Delta:H\to H\otimes_k H$ which is a morphism of algebras. Unit $1:k\to H$, counit $\epsilon:H\to k$ and antipode $S:H\to H$ are also required. Such a ...

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a fusion category and $H$ a semi-simple finite weak Hopf algebra such that $\mathcal{C}(H) = \mathcal{C}$.
Suppose that for every nontrivial left coideal subalgebras $S$ of $H$ or ...

Let $G$ by a unipotent linear algebraic group defined over a field of characteristic $0$, with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The exponential map $\mathfrak{g}\to G$ is bijective, and we can recover the ...

Suppose $G$ is a finite group which acts on a $C^*-$algebra which we denote by $A$. I was wondering if there is a naturally induced coaction on $A\otimes C(G)$, here $C(G)$ denotes functions on $G$.
I ...

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra and $A$ an $H$-comodule algebra; denote by $M^H_A$ the category of right $(H,A)$-Hopf modules [i.e. $A$-module, $H$-comodules, everything is compatible with everything else]. ...

If $V$ is a faithful finite dimensional representation of an affine group scheme $G$ over a field $k$, then every finite dimensional representation of $G$ is isomorphic to a subquotient of $\otimes^n ...

I asked this initially in math.stackexchange:
The group algebra $k(G)$ of any group $G$ satisfies as a Hopf algebra the following identities:
$$
S\otimes S\circ \Delta=\sigma\circ\Delta\circ S
$$
$$
...

If $B$ is a bialgebra in the category $\tt{Vect}$ of vector spaces (over $\mathbb C$, for example) then $B$ can't have two different antipodes.
Is this true for bialgebras in an arbitrary symmetric ...

One way of constructing coalgebra objects in the homotopy theorist's category of spectra is to take the suspension spectrum of a space, with the diagonal providing a cocommutative comultiplication. ...

Function spaces on (classical) homogeneous spaces can have a bialgebra structure:
Take $S^2$ to be the unital, associative algebra generated by $x, y, z$ with the relation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$ and ...

Let $H$ be a finite dimensional hopf algebra and $B \subset A$ be an $H$-extension of algebras. We know that the following are equivelant
1) $A \cong B \times_\sigma H$ is a cocycle crossed product ...

First I would like to stress that maybe I don't have a necessary background from the theory of Lie groups. I met the topic of Tannaka–Krein duality while reading the book of Gracia–Bondia, Varilly and ...

Denote $\text{Aut}(\hat{{\mathbb A}}^1)$ be the affine group over ${\mathbb Z}$ that sends some ring $R$ to the strict automorphisms of $R[[t]]$, i.e. those of the form $X\mapsto X + r_1 X^2 + r_2 X^3 ...

Every group acts on itself by conjugation $h \mapsto g h g^{-1}$. Respectively considering functions on a group we obtain a linear representation.
Question 1: what is known about this representation ...

A semi-simple finite dimensional Hopf algebra $\mathbb{A}$, and its dual $\mathbb{A}^{*}$ produce two fusion categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{C}^{*}$ and then two fusion rings $\mathcal{R}_{1}$ ...

I'm looking for a particular description of the Hopf algebra structure on the ring of quasisymmetric functions.
Let me illustrate by giving this kind of description for the Hopf algebra of symmetric ...

I think this must be well-known, but I can't find references, so my apologies from the very beginning.
Consider first the notion of bialgebra. It is usually defined as an object $B$ in the category ...

The parallels between the formulas in Schubert calculus and in the theory of the representations of symmetric groups (par Geissinger-Zelevinsky) are so apparent (e.g. Giambelli formula), that one must ...

I'm looking for small concrete examples of non-pivotal finite tensor categories to do some calculations with.
Here a finite tensor category is, according to Etingof-Ostrik, a rigid monoidal category ...

Coming from a Lie algebraic background, I'm trying to branch onto quantum group theory. The divide I see all the time, is $q$ a root of unity or $q$ not a root of unity. I am wondering why is this? If ...
